Abstract

A bit field indication manner is provided. A first field is determined, where the first field includes T1 bits, at least one of the T1 bits indicates at least two elements {bi0, bi1, . . . , bik} in a set B, the at least one bit further indicates at least one element {θj0, θj1, . . . , θjh} in a set Φ, and at least one element in {bi0, bi1, . . . , bik} and at least one element in {θj0, θj1, . . . , θjh} are used to form a precoding matrix, where the set B={b0, b1, . . . , bT2−1}, an element in the set B is a vector with a length of N/4, the set Φ={θ0, θ1, . . . , θS−1}, an element in Φ is a complex number of a unit amplitude.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A field notification method, wherein the method comprises:
 receiving, by a user equipment, a first field, wherein the first field comprises T 1  bits, the first field indicates one or more vectors that are allowed to be used to construct a precoding matrix W in a vector set, the precoding matrix W comprises N rows and R columns, N is greater than R; 
 determining, by the user equipment and based on the first field, the one or more vectors that are allowed to be used to construct the precoding matrix W in the vector set; wherein 
 R is equal to 3 or 4, an  l   th  column of the precoding matrix W satisfies:
